Continuing with Figment Goes Mad (T Party)...
River Belle Terrace, Breakfast
Figment started the day with the Steamboat (three pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage).
Then he moved onto his idea of a wonderful vacation breakfast...a huge cinnamon roll and a Dole whip float. Figment was really excited that he was the first person to order a Dole whip float that morning because he got a button!
Brennan's Jazz Kitchen Express, Snack
By snack time, Figment was order at DTD, so he stopped by the Jazz Kitchen Express to try out their beignets and (non-alcoholic) mint julep. He liked the mint julep from the French Market better, but the beignets were really good!
Naples, Dinner
It's been a really long time since Figment's been to Naples. His last experience was pretty awful and he's been avoiding the place ever since. However, he had a coupon for Naples this time, so he gave it another try and he was really glad he did. He started with the calamari (a usual favorite of Figment's). It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The bread service was okay. He would have preferred warm rolls, but the olive oil had a good flavor.
He was so excited when the food came that he forgot to take pictures initially. Eventually he remembered. Figment ordered the Quattro Stagioni pizza (four toppings, one on each quarter of the pizze: artichoke, eggplant, parma cotta ham, mushrooms). The mushrooms were sauteed with garlic (yum) and the artichokes were still firm (good) (top). The ham was nice and salty (bottom). The only topping that didn't work was the eggplant...it didn't have any flavor.
Having been to Via Napoli in Florida (also operated by the Patina Group), Figment couldn't wait to try to the Coppa Di Brutti Ma Buoni (Ugly But Good sundae). It's different from the one at VN, smaller, but had more cherries. It was still yummy.
Mad T Party
After dinner, Figment headed over to the Mad T Party. The previous night he had tried the green apple slushie and really liked it. This time he planned to try to the pear slushie and get the green apple slushie in the twisted yard. Both were good, but Figment liked the green apple the best! (Figment said that the twisted yard was good, but holds about 4 cups of slushie, so it's a lot!).
Jolly Holiday, Late Night Snack
By the end of the evening Figment was getting hungry again and wanted a midnight (literally) snack before leaving DL. He stopped by the Jolly Holiday bakery and had two cupcakes. The strawberry cupcake with lemon was sweet and yummy (top). The seasonal cupcake was chocolate with raspberry (also yum).
